Ethical issue
As prescribed by (Hill, et. al., 2012), it is very necessary to provide exact information about the foetus to the parent. Information is always beneficial for the parents. Information is having an implication on the future of the family. If the unwanted information is provided to the parent then it can be harmful to a family. The parent can come on the difficult decision on continuing the pregnancy or not. The ethical issue rose from the case study that Sarah is breaching important information of Natalia and Dylan to the co-workers. It is not the right of Sarah to reveal the information to any of the employees that are working in the clinic. Though one of the co-workers is involved in social welfare it is the choice of Natalia that to whom she won't disclose this information (Hill, et. al., 2012).
